This is probably my #3 reason for sticking with a Desktop. Build my own and it's my own fault if it doesn't work, but then it's only one part that has to be swapped.
ClearQAM is fine for local channels - though even that is rarely unencrypted (but I'm an Internet-only subscriber, so I shouldn't have access anyway). It requires a lot more hardware functionality if you're a subscriber but don't have access to all channels. Rather than the old RF notch filter, you don't have to worry about any signal loss with encryption. Just give everyone all the signal and leave it up to the access control device.
How do you keep an Internet-only cable subscriber from getting free HBO without degrading your service?
At least Smucker's offers a low-sugar strawberry preserves. I hate how everyone adds too much sugar. They add no artificial sweetener, just less sugar.
Each person only needs 3-4 varieties, but that 3-4 is different from person to person.
Reading that URL, it says "Kimg Jong Un-Orders Pig Farms" and that made me click through only to realize that Un was part of the name and not part of the verb.
I agree with that. You're going to have a lot more choice paralysis if you're in the market for a laptop. Make the wrong choice and the GPU overheats and unsolders itself. More expensive isn't any safer.
Any lawful device is essentially what Cablecard was supposed to solve. The card handling the DRM that prevented non-subscribers from accessing channels they're not subscribed to. Instead of updating the standard to handle switched video properly, every cable company immediately wanted this as an excuse to drop CableCARD.
At this point, though, we don't even have "bring any device" with cell phones. The carrier has to approve every device model, not just the FCC.
Or for a cable box when we're already paying for cable?
Or allowing every cable company an exemption to the CableCARD requirement. What's the point of mandating something when everyone gets an exemption like free candy?
Considering that the thyroid is the body's holding place for iodine and that seaweed is abundant in iodine, it doesn't take a conspiracy to see that potential.
It's also well-known that Iodine-131 made it into the environment as a result of Fukushima.
HOWEVER, this could be mitigated by supplementing iodine from non-contaminated sources. And I don't think Japan iodizes their table salt so you'd have to be intentional about it. If the thyroid is already "full" it won't take up radioactive iodine.
And only minimum wage labor laws are keeping them from requiring you to work 60 hours per week for all of those 2 years. That severance package would have to be pretty large to even make that worth it.
If it isn't two years of salary in severance, it's not enough to make it worth it. For one, if it's not limited, they could technically ask them to work every day for 2 years. Yes, that's covered under labor laws and they might have to pay more but it could end up being 2 years of minimum wage employment.
Imagine worse. Your new employer won't take kindly to you constantly leaving to go take care of this company. So not only do you lose the first job, you may lose the second job as well. And that loss of employment won't be covered by the first severance package.
You're missing the point. People won't download a new program. Their browser will get an auto-update long before that and they would never know they're watching protected content until they right-click to save as.
How many of the general public will immediately implement a viewer that incorporates DRM?
How many in the general public implement even their own JPEG viewer? Not many. They'll just download whatever browser/plugin.
You overestimate the technical savvy required to download a torrent. The average user cannot do this.
The general public will go where the content is and not ask questions. The only elsewhere is torrents and some people aren't going to break the law or their own personal ethics over a movie or tv show. Netflix or shomi aren't going to be able to tell a content producer to even allow them to distribute DRM-free. And there's no sense or incentive, considering the consumer doesn't even acquire a license to the content perpetually - only to view it as a live stream. But there's no rights or freedom to not have DRM if you're not purchasing content. You'd have at least some agreement from me if the end user is buying the content to have perpetually like Blu-Ray or digital download.
It's true that even DRM as simple as streaming in unencrypetd small seamless chunks that would have to be stitched back together is effective.
Your logic is crap. We live in a world where DRM-free music exists and DRM-free games, too. But you really think that studios are going to give DRM-free movies. Sorry, the production costs are MUCH higher and that will never happen. This is the real world.
Distributors like Netflix are in no position to dictate the terms of distribution. They either distribute DRM-laden content or they get no deal from the content producers. There is no audience to concern yourself if there are no content rights.
Compression level in PNG should always be the highest possible since it's lossless and you really only need to choose between 8 or 24 bit pixels and transparency or not.
Embedding Gamma in a PNG file destined for the web is not usually a good idea. It could cause color values not to match up with identical CSS RGB values in the color schemes. And where gamma would really help, photos, it's probably not an image that would compress as well with PNG vs. JPEG.

Smuckers makes that in the US. It's "Low Sugar" on a big yellow ribbon. I find that the strawberry preserves are just the right level of sweetness.

Might be time to reconsider VoIP as long as you're not with a congested Internet provider. You'll get that below 2 cents.

That's such a good dental pun that I have to admire it.
I'm sure that tastes great.
Real programmers use 11101011 (on x86).
So evenings and weekends for 40 hours per week. Even an hour of extra work on a weekday could make you tired the next day for your new employer.

They're moving the jobs offshore. No H1-B required for that.
Achieve that and we've got some great storage at 4.85x10^80 Exabytes per cubic inch.
Final delivery to consumers, I mean.
Jpg is an amateur format
What do you mean by this? I don't know of any other format professionals use for final delivery (outside of personal archives).
DRM has always been optional for creators. I can't think of any exception to that.
